This means we showcase a designer's card for you. All you need to do is make your own card inspired by our designer's card adding your won twist.

This week we are CASEing the very creative Deepti. I am sure most of you have visited her blog Dee's Art Utopia and know how talented she is. If not take a peek here and I guarantee you will be inspired!

Time to hear from Deepti:

I am a sketch artist by default and a card maker by choice. My card making started with making some new year cards back in 2013 and now it has turned into a passion.

I am excited to tell you that I have moved a step ahead, now I am an Illustrator with my own line of stamps. Thanks to Shery for offering me to design under the umbrella of STAMPlorations :)

My stamp line"Dee's Artsy Impressions"was recently introduced with my very first set Blooming buds which will be available to buy beginning. It is also one of the stamp sets that you can pick if you sign up for the

STAMPlorations Stamp club in June. I am so pleased that I was asked to be the CASE designer at TIME OUT and hope you enjoy CASEing my card-have fun!

Deepti has very kindly offered to sponsor this challenge so you could very soon own her new stamp set-details at the bottom of this post

It is time for our 'Theme' challenge here at TIME OUT and the theme for the next 2 weeks is:

Grunge with the optional twist of Embossing

You can use any kind of embossing that you want.

What does 'Grunge' mean for us papercrafters??

Grunge is characterized by distressed, worn-out elements and the use of subtleor earthy colours. Think torn edges, textured backgrounds, 'dirty' appearance, splatters, stains, even hand-drawn lines. That said, grunge doesn't always mean"dirty" or subdued colours. A card can have subtle grunge elements in light or soft ink and yet still look clean and simple. Just think of grunge as theopposite of "polished".

Our challenge this week is our 'Home Sweet Home' challenge where we ask you to take inspiration to create from this photo:

Our Guest Designer Joyce is joining us this week again. If you didn't get chance to pop by her blog Cards by the Sea then I urge you to take some TIME OUT and have a look around now-it is well worth it!
